A Wilmington man faces charges due to his involvement in two separate robberies of motel women at the Comfort Inn, 3 Concord Lane, Newark, and the Econo Lodge, 100 McIntosh Plaza, Newark on Jan. 26.

Kevin M. Abbott, 26, of Wilmington, was charged with three counts of robbery in the first degree, two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, two counts of possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited, and conspiracy in the second degree.

Investigators say Abbott contacted his victims through a website, met them at motels, and robbed them at gunpoint.
